This little exegesis will assume two somewhat dubious things. It will assume, for the sake of argument, that the White Wolf universe is real, as opposed to a very absorbing and often plausible game. It will also assume that Yahweh (YHVH, I Am That I AM) was the first god, the only real god. I’m rather biased, Christian that I am, but I’m not ethnocentric and I see the latter viewpoint as incredibly ethnocentric. I’m afraid I never understood the point of the commandment, “I am the LORD thy God; thou shalt have none other gods but ME. For I am a jealous god…” How can God be jealous, if there is only one anyway? Silly. However, I have to assume this viewpoint, or my structure of argument falls apart. So. Yahweh was the first and only God, and Caine existed.

The Lives and Logic of
October 30th, 2000 — gothic
Many a deep, heated, intelectual conversation takes place after sunset at Perkin’s, Denny’s and other 24/7 restraunts nationwide. The question many uninvolved people ask is: Why? Why spend hours on end in a restraunt? Continue reading →

Vampires and Serial Killings
October 30th, 2000 — vampire
It’s something we vampires don’t like to talk about, even to ourselves: the possibility that there really are people out there who hunt and kill for blood or for the sheer rush of killing…and that those people might be real vampires, not just psychos with no life. Continue reading →

The Box We Live In
October 28th, 2000 — darkness
When I am given a choice, I tend to have much more of an open mind. When someone force-feeds me, my immediate reaction is to say “Bleh, go away”. It crowds me and makes me feel they can only think one way. What if I want them to try something I like? I won’t even try now, because they have sealed the *box* they reside in, in my eyes.

i want your opinion!
October 28th, 2000 — gothic
Everywhere i go people are asking ” what really is a goth”. Some are either saying it’s about clothes or it’s style or it’s because they take intrest in dark things and are social outcasts.

Generation Denied.
October 27th, 2000 — gothic
The current generation of Americans is a generation torn apart by bitter tags, and an undercurrent of cynicism. At the forefront of a new revolution is this subculture of “Goth”. A group tried, and persecuted for its sins against popular thought and idea, it is fast becoming the group for which radical changes are taking place.

Who Walks, Addicted To Night (journal entry, Oxford, from my time as a student)
October 25th, 2000 — gothic
There’s a wind. It’s a steady, gusty wind, but not really a sharp penetrating wind, yet; it blows my skirt every which way, even up into my face - a blinding caress, black silk. I don’t care, it’s four o’clock in the morning (why don’t they call it night?) and there’s nobody around to see, so I don’t bother doing the Marilyn Monroe thing of holding down my skirt to cover my seven year itch. Mostly my skirt doesn’t rise anyway, it stays clinging to my legs like a shroud gone out of control. I take my hands out of my leather jacket. I’m moving, I don’t need to hold them warm
anymore; my metabolism comes to the rescue. Continue reading →
Vampire Purity Test!
October 25th, 2000 — vampire
There’s a purity test for everything else, now it’s time for us to have our
own purity test (just in time for Halloween, too!) Please note: this does
not test how much of a vampire you are, or how likely it is that you’re a
vampire. It tests home infected you are by vampiric culture. The test is meant to be, if not comprehensive, at least exhaustive - so all possible aspects of vampirism in culture are included, including the most stereotypical.
Remember kiddies: all technicalities count.
Outside looking in…
October 25th, 2000 — gothic
As I peruse many things upon this site, and others dedicated to a subculture of American life, I have decided that I am sometimes disheartened by the lack of understanding of the very thing they are attempting to subjugate through their words. Poetry, bragging about psychiatric medicines, and art are used to show a deeper appreciation of thought than others. Why is this important?

COOKIE MONSTER
October 25th, 2000 — darkness
Yes, those dreadful cookies seem to be disappearing from you. I don’t know why but it happens to me too. I think that it was a result of starting the site on a different domain, and then moving it to this one.
Unfortunately, if that is true.. I have no idea how to fix the problem. An alternative ::cringes:: would be to start all over. I would need to take the site down temporarily and reinstall everything. Then try my best to import all the stories and comments.
The ultimate decisions however, is yours! So, please.. comment.
The Night of Hallow’s Eve is almost here!
October 24th, 2000 — gothic
This is actually a mixture for ya my corpses. This Ol’ Hallow’s eve is the turning point of the sabbaths. Now our new year shall begin and here’s the latest news from Des Moines, IA a total of 13 people including me where kicked out of the Wiccan and all other originations because of our free willed belief in many and not the one they surpress on their students. Is there any respect anywhere for me and these people who follow the same paths of life?

Mr/s average’s guide to tolerance and understanding of the goth scene in general
October 23rd, 2000 — gothic
Somewhere along the line, somebody forgot to tell the general public that although it may seem funny to go to a “Gothic” club and laugh at people, you really should be able to take it when Goths go to “normal” clubs and laugh right back at you. (yes, Goths do laugh, but only when appropriate)
Here are some things you should be learning:

Vampires and Sex
October 23rd, 2000 — vampire
Well, I bet that got your attention.
Just some random observations:
In literature, vampires rarely have sex (and when they do engage in sex, they do it for the sake of their lover or because it will help them feed, they don’t do it for the sex). In real life, most of the vampires I know, myself included, have lusty appetites (oh, yeah, for sex too - nudge nudge).

Passed Times With Good Company
October 21st, 2000 — pagan
Samhain is coming up; the veil between the spirit world and the “real” world begins to thin. The Day of the Dead approaches.
For most people, spirits (if they are thought of at all) are thought of on one special holiday per year and maybe on certain anniversaries. Those people who are in mourning can’t escape the memory of the beloved, of course, and that brings so much pain that it hurts to dwell on.
